Types (6)

Durable

Grants an agent ongoing control over the principal’s financial interests and estate. Its durable nature keeps the document in force even if the principal experiences a loss of mental capacity.

 

General

A general power of attorney assigns comprehensive financial authority to the agent, covering banking, investments, and property management. The agreement becomes void if the principal is no longer able to make decisions independently.

 

Limited (PDF)

A limited power of attorney confines the agent’s role to handling narrowly defined duties on behalf of the principal. This form suits individuals who only need representation for a particular transaction or a brief period.

 

Medical

A medical power of attorney enables the principal to select a representative who can communicate their health care preferences to providers. The agent’s authority activates when the principal is unable to express their own medical decisions.

 

Minor Child

A minor child power of attorney grants temporary guardianship of a child to a designated individual for up to 6 months. Parents on active military duty may extend this period to 1 year under Arizona law.

 

Motor Vehicle (48-1001)

A motor vehicle power of attorney (Form 48-1001) allows an agent to handle title, registration, and other vehicle-related matters through the Arizona MVD on the owner’s behalf.
